Did you know people collecting baseball-card-sized pieces of original art was a thing? I didn't until not too long ago. Apparently it's a big thing. Anyway, I recently contributed several cards to a set from 5Finity for a line featuring pin-up gals posing with cats called Kitty Ditties and Pretty Ladies. I'm allowed to post them now and will be stretching them out over a few posts. Here's four:

A digital cut out of the Ice King and his penguins. The Ice King is made of ice and snow. The Ice King says, “Rate me on a scale of 1 to 10: 1 is ‘totally gross’, 10 is ‘hey, Ice King you look crazy siiiiick!’”

I enjoy the Batted man in his many incarnations, but my first intro to the character was watching reruns of the old Adam West and Burt Ward series from the 60s, so while this may look a little mean, it’s cooked with love.

Batman’s costume was just a little off in the series. The eyes were cut into the cowl in such a way that they always made him look a little cross-eyed. Also the let the cowl hang out from under the cape making a weird little circular collar in the front. The painted-on eyebrows are off, to be sure, but strangest of all had to be that square painted around the tip of the nose. Riddle me this, Batman: WHY IS THERE A LITTLE SQUARE PAINTED AROUND THE TIP OF YOUR NOSE?

When I was a little kid, I was afraid to see Raiders of the Lost Ark, because I heard about the face-melting. So it wasn’t until years later, and after seeing Temple of Doom that I finally saw the original.

I love the television show Lost in Space. I'm not arguing that it's a good show, just that it's a lot of fun. Here are the three characters, Dr. Smith, the robot, and Will, that slowly took over the show completely after the initial attempts at making a serious space drama about space Captain Robinson and his space family and their space ship.

Right after finishing this, I learned that Dick Tufeld, the inimitable voice of the robot, recently died, so I guess this is also kind of an accidental tribute.

In last week's post about Paul Bunyan I mentioned the Looney Tunes cartoon Goo Goo Goliath in which a giant baby is delivered to a normal-sized couple, which then reminded me of the Chuck Jones classic, Rocket Bye Baby in which a Martian baby is accidentally delivered to a couple on Earth.

So here's Mot, the star of Rocket Bye Baby, in his home-made flying saucer.

The following image is not a picture of a superhero or a monster. I know that might come as a shock, but it's true. Here's good ol' Paul Bunyan:

"Hello, my name is Paul. Do you have anything giant you'd like chopped down?"

I love Paul Bunyan, even though I barely remember anything about him. What I remember: he's a enormous lumberjack who has a giant blue Ox named Babe as a pet. I think maybe one of his stories involved sweating so much he created the great lakes. Or maybe it was crying, but I don't get the feeling Paul really cried a lot.

I also get the impression that Paul loves roadside attractions and breakfast. Maybe I'm projecting, though, as I also love roadside attractions and breakfast. Maybe Paul and I have a lot in common! Probably this is all we really have in common.

I also love that Babe isn't just a giant Ox, as if that wouldn't be outlandish enough. No, she (she? I think?) is a giant BLUE Ox. Was she born blue? Is she from Monster Island like Godzilla (and in case that gets your gears turning, I call dibs on drawing a comic about Paul Bunyan fighting Godzilla! DIBS! I'm gonna do it!)?

I suppose instead of endlessly speculating about Paul Bunyan I could probably go read some thing about him instead. Maybe I'll go do that in a bit. Until then, maybe baby Paul Bunyan made the Hoover Damn out of baby blocks! Maybe Paul Bunyan dug the Grand Canyon to poop in! Maybe Paul Bunyan invented the Big Gulp!
